jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 18, 2007 Bottle 2006 Poured a deep pinkish red body with very thin head. Aroma is of sour beeries, horseblanket, and an odd resembleness to cranberries. Flavor is slight sour, lightly fruity with the raspberries having a small presence, but overall having a light body and ton( I got the sence of a watery drink sometimes). I have to admit though the more I drank it the more it really grew on me. Very nice aftertaste. Would like to try again after many years of cellaring. JK (2946), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Mar 17, 2007 Tasted at Cantillon, Brussels. A very sour aroma with barnyard and sour characteristics, as well as light fruit. Sour raspberry flavor. Clearly natural raspberry. A red beer and heavily carbonated. Yeasty aftertaste. Outstanding. reakt (938), Greater London, England Mar 10, 2007 Updated: Sep 2, 2007Bottle from Uto. Apricot colour with no head. Nose of sour berries, vinegar, orange and honey. Taste of raspberries, lemons and grapes...A raspberry lemonade geueze so to speak. Medium bodied, mouth-watering tart and acidic mmmm...Just my style. illkarate (89), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Mar 10, 2007 Poured a reddish gold, definitely settles as a rose. Virtually no head. Aroma of hay, alcohol, hints of fruitiness. Relatively complex taste - once you get past the first sour blast. Raspberries, lemons, green grapes and wood. This is the way a lanbic should taste... not Lindemans JohnnyJ (1283), Carlsbad, California, USA Mar 5, 2007 Updated: Mar 9, 20072005 bottle. Pour is a hazy orangish red with little to no head. Aroma of barnyard funk, tartness, lemon, and a little bit of raspberries. Flavor is very tart and sour. Mostly lambic funk flavor with notes of fruit. robinvboyer (1419), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Feb 28, 2007 a nice lambic, cantillon doesn’t really make anything that isn’t nice. Nice sourness, nose is of lemon, and citrus, and very tart. overall good, but not spectacular Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Feb 27, 2007 Updated: Nov 6, 2007Cloudy golden red body with almost no head. Aroma is dominated by typical gueuze/kriek wilderness and not a lot of the advertised raspberries. So far so good. Actually so far, excellent. This is a fruity gueuze alright but not all that much raspberry-fruity. High sourness and acidity level with a fruity taste that I’d describe as more “seedy” than the more common krieks with a dry a rough finish. Body is a bit oily for the style and the bubbles are few but aggressive. Not a match for the 3 Fonteinen Framboos (the reference for the style?) but a worthy contender nonetheless. I never though I’d say that but I whish my hairy smelly drinking buddies would buy me a Rose once in a while. PilsnerPeter (2598), Flushing, New York, USA Feb 23, 2007 Updated: Apr 1, 2009Bottle - 2005: Pours a nice hazy rusty red color with a vanishing head. Aroma is intense barnyard, some musty wood, and plenty of active culture funk. The base beer funkiness gives it lots of complexity. The raspberry is somewhat subtle and never masks the nuance of the base lambic. I’ve been meaning to re-rate this.
